18、tive definitions of economics and science.Science is a knowledge system that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe. While economics is a social science concerned chiefly with description and analysis of the production, distribution, an

19、d consumption of goods and services.Therefore, the characteristics of economics, such as statistics and analysis just in line with scientific interpretation.Furthermore, in the category of economics, it contains a large number of theories which about the laws of human values activity, and these theo

21、ltureWith globalization, people have more opportunities to cooperate and exchange. However, I think it has more negative effects on culture, which are as follows.On the one hand, native language which is the most important part of culture has been threatened by English which is regarded as the world

22、wide medium of communication due to globalization. Consequently, A growing number of people are being encouraged to use or send messages in English rather than in their own language.On the other hand, due to the impact of western cultures, young people start to admire the extreme individualism and t

23、he hedonism, which are harmful to the development of society.9.In what ways is new form of journalism different from traditional media?New media is essentially a cyber culture with modern computer technology, digital data controlled by software and the latest fast developing communication technology

24、. Most technologies described as “new media are digital, and often have characteristics of being networkable, interactive and impartial. Examples are the internet, websites, computer multimedia, games, CD-ROMs and DVDs. Young people are attracted to the easy means of getting information with interne

25、t based computer or phones, which provide them information of their choice anytime, anywhere. They dont need to wait for any broadcasting schedule to be connected to get the information.Internet blogs, news portals and online news, Facebook, You Tube, podcast and webcast, and even the short messagin

26、g system, are all new media. The modern revolution enables everybody to become a journalist at little cost and with global reach. Nothing like this has ever been possible before. New media is like a “new trustthat connect all boundaries of politics, economy and religion.Nowadays, people all over the

27、 world share the same fashions, advertising, brands, eating habits and TV channels. Do the disadvantages of this trend outweigh the advantages?Nowadays, people all over the world share the same Hollywood movies and fashion. Everyone has different opinions, To my mind, cultural globalizations advanta

28、ges outweigh its disadvantages. Because cultural globalization has a lot of advantages as follows: First of all, globalization is a vital process toward transferring knowledge and education throughout the world. Secondly, people can enjoy cultural achievements by artists all over the world, such as

29、films, TV programs, music, opera etc. Finally, the exchange of culture could enhance mutual understanding, create goodwill and remove the hostility and prejudice betweendifferentnations.Of course, there are also some negative things when we share these things from all over the world. But, I insist t

30、hat the advantages far outweigh its disadvantages11.Some students like online courses. Others like to take traditional classroom courses. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. In my opinion, I prefer online courses. With the development of communication techn

31、ology, the network has become an indispensable tool in peoples daily life. Now more and more people choose online courses, I think it is a better choice whether it is for students or serving staff under the dual pressure of work。First, different from the traditional courses, the learning time and pl

32、ace of online courses are not restricted. For example, for those serving people, they can use the subway or bus time to study online courses, which makes it convenient and makes full use of their spare time. No matter at any time or any place, as long as there is the Internet, you can learn, learner

33、s can arrange their own learning time, and will not affect the work and other activities.Second, online courses can be repeated, students can adjust schedule according to their actual situation. Basic knowledge and ability of accepting knowledge of each student is different, by listening to course o

34、nce, some students will be able to master, but others will listen several times in order to understand . Students can personalize what they need to learn on the basis of their own .They can not listen to what they understand. As for the content they dont understand, they can listen to it more often

35、until they have mastered it. The traditional courses require lectures within the prescribed time, and students do not have the opportunity to repeat when they cannot understand ,cannot hear clearly or have questions.Finally, online courses can realize the excellent teachers resource sharing. In trad

36、itional education, because of the actual teaching conditions, teaching resources vary in many remote areas of the serious shortage of teachers, whats more, there is no teachers in some areas ,which restricts the local education level to the higher level. The advantage of online education is that we

37、can bring excellent teachers from all over the country together, so that students in different areas can hear the courses taught by famous teachers, so as to improve the overall educational level of our country.In general, as an alternative to the traditional classroom teaching model, it is still mo

38、re advantageous and novel. Every coin has two sides, so the combination of traditional courses and online courses may make the teaching effect better in these two modes.12 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Young people know more about the modern world than their parents do. Use

39、specific reasons and examples to support your answerPersonally, I agree that young people today know more about modern world than parents did before, and I will explain my opinion from two aspects. Firstly, technologies are developing rapidly and have provided us various ways to get events. You know

40、, more and more technologies have occurred which help young people to access to news and events in a multiple way, such as searching the internet or watching TV news. However, in the past, people can do nothing except reading newspaper or listening to the radio. The information they got was quite li

41、mited. Secondly, young people today receive more education and have broader horizon than their parents. The advanced education and wide horizon help young people to better understand the modern world and accept new things appearing in modern world. For example, young people can master the use of new

42、 technologies such as computer and cellphone, while it is difficult for their parents to grasp these things.In short, young people today more about the modern world than their parents do.13. Should Tianjin try to preserve its old, historic buildings or destroy them and replace them with modern build

43、ings?I insist that Tianjin should try to preserve its old, historic buildings instead of destroying them and replacing them with modern buildings.Some people may point out that old buildings are precarious and even dangerous for living while modern buildings are obviously safer at the same time. As

44、a result, some old buildings make less contribution to the promotion of the citys appearance. For an example, in Tianjin compared with the other buildings on Binjiang Road, Quanye Chang seems less splendid. However, to some extent, the special historical and cultural significance that old, historic

45、buildings possess wont be felt from modern buildings. So, there is nothing ambiguous that such antique buildings should be not be destroyed.I must mention that in Tianjin there are some old buildings which hardly have significance and can completely replaced by other more historic buildings. In that

46、 case, the government can replace them with modern buildings for the sake of the development of Tianjin. Of course, in order to the unique features of Tianjin, the construction of the modern buildings can be based on the historical architectural style. To sum up, old and historic buildings should be

47、 preserved and other old buildings which have already lost their functions can be renovated by modern technology. 14.Do you think it necessary for China to hold large conferences and activities such as the Olympic Games, APEC, and Expo? Use specific examples to support your ideas. In my opinion，I th

48、ink it is necessary for China to hold large conferences and activities. These large conferences and activities can bring many benefits for China. Firstly, to hold large conferences and activities is useful for cultural exchanges between China and the rest of the world. For instance, Shanghai held th

49、e 41th Expo in 2023. There is no doubt it provided the Chinese people with a great opportunity to learn about the cultures around the world. Secondly, it can show and enhance Chinas influence in the international community. China held APEC successfully in 2001 and 2023. Such activities fully demonst

50、rate that China plays an increasingly important role in international affairs. Whats more, it can promote the economic development. In fact, the Olympic Village has become a very famous attraction in Beijing, and it has brought great economic benefits to the local residents. In all, it is necessary

51、for China to hold large conferences and activities.15.Take-away Apps on mobile phones are more and more popular nowadays. Some people believe that we are becoming lazier with the use of them. What do you think of this opinion?With the development of computer technology, our lives has been changing a

52、ll the time. Recently, Take-away Apps on mobile phones are more and more popular.It is truly that these apps make our lives convenient. We dont have to wasting time for prepare a meal and clean the tableware. All we have to do is just tap your smartphone on these apps. Obviously, it can save our tim

53、e and energy. But just as a coin has two sides. It also brings some trouble. Some people believe that we are becoming lazier with the use of them. It is harmful to our health. In my opinion, I think we cant deny the progress that these apps take for us. And there exists the phenomenon that some stud

54、ent stay at dormitory all day except to go out for their take-out food. But I believe that the problem is not at the apps at all. It is your lifestyle make the difference. I dont think the person who stay at home all day can go out for physical exercise without these apps. Take-away Apps is just a t

55、ool for simple our life. We should use it properly to make our life healthier and efficient.16.In your opinion, what are some of the qualities of a good parent? List reasons and specific examples to explain why these characteristics are important.As we know, parents are the first teacher of children

56、. they are not only those teach their children how to talk, eat and walk, but they also the first idols of their children. Therefore, good qualities of parents are really important to children. in my point of view, there are two important characteristics parents should have:In the first place, it ca

57、n be seen by every one that parents are the roles of their children, so that parents have to behave well in front of children. Everyone was born equal from god. However, the difference between children, such as, the way to talk and solve problems, the actions and habits, are teach by their different

58、 parents. Parents take great influence by their school.In the second place, parents need to encourage their children when their children meet difficulties. Nobody wants to be lonely, especially when he or she meets difficulties. With parents encouragements, children can not only solve problems but a

59、lso learn to be more confident.In conclusion, the good parents will have great children.17. Describe one of your future goals. Explain why this goal is important to you.
